For physicians and patients, acne scars is a distressing condition and always disturbs the patient mentally because of its
appearance socially. There are many available modalities for its treatment. Some of the modalities are effective but they have
long downtime and may have side effects in darker skin types too. Also these modalities may not always be effective in all skin
types. Platelet rich plasma and autologous mesenchymal stem cell therapy have been found to be safe and effective treatment
modality for treatment of a wide variety of conditions in cosmetic dermatology. Mesenchymal stem cells have anti-fibrotic,
anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic as well as angiogenic properties which have significant effects in treatment of atrophic acne
scars. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is defined as an autologous preparation of platelets in concentrated plasma that benefits by
promoting collagen deposition by providing growth factors. We report a case of an Indian 25 year’s old patient who came to us
for treatment of her Grade 3 acne scarring along with moderate pigmentation using regenerative medicine approach. The acne
scarring resulted due to her not taking any treatment for her papulopustular acne 4 years back. She was a suitable candidate
for stem cell therapy. She was administered three sessions of intradermal injections of mesenchymal stem cell concentrate
obtained from her bone marrow along with intradermal injections of platelet rich plasma. She was administered injections of
Vitamin C along with Glutathione intravenously as a supportive therapy. She was also given local application of Aloe vera and
copper peptide as an adjunct with local daily massage of the treated area. We found a remarkable recovery of her pigmentation
as well as her acne scars. Therefore we wish to highlight this regenerative medicine approach as another treatment option for
those who do not wish to go for conventional therapy or are not advised these treatments.
